Sceptile should be special. If your thinking special the next go gigadrain for sustain and energy ball. Grass knot is ok too and if you don’t mind the sp atk drop then leaf storm is a really good option too. Also since you didn’t mention nature, timid is best. It’s risky having focus blast because it has only 70 accuracy. Max ev special attack and speed. I know you said you can’t be bothered giving up false swipe but seriously stop being lazy and traina better false swipe Pokémon. Absol is much better because of a higher attack stat. Competitive Pokémon should never have false swipe for any reason whatsoever.

Last move on blaziken should be flare blitz. Yes recoil but it’s good. Also is it speed boost? If not then consider making it your mega. Jolly or adamant nature. Jolly is extra speed and adamant is more power. Max ev attack and speed

Why is swampert special? Isn’t it a physical Pokémon? Waterfall, earthquake come to mind. Muddy water isn’t a signature move on swampert you know. Plenty of Pokémon can learn it and it’s not well known for having that move (like aura sphere on lucario). I think adamant would be your best nature. Mega swampert can be great as a rain team sweeper if you choose to go down that track. Also swampert is a little underwhelming when it comes to power. Max ev attack and speed or hp

Mega gardevior is good. Just make sure you got timid. Also when tapu Lele is released, you can use that instead. Its better than gardevior and has a better ability. Also won’t take up a mega slot. Max ev special attack and speed

Ok lucario is a bit underwhelming without a mega. And what are you doing with rock smash? It’s awful. Lucario is very versatile so special, physical or mixed is your choice. But ha ing nasty plot or swords dance is recommended to boost its power. Sawsbuck coffee is unreliable. Life orb is a better choice as you will get even more power from its attacks. Having priority is a major help because 90 speed is just a bit meh now. Bullet punch or vacuum wave depending on physical or special. Also close combat can replace brick break. Best nature is jolly (physical), timid (special) or naive (mixed). Max ev attack or special attack it’s your choice and speed.

Torrent greninja isn’t that strong. Ash greninja is better. It’s not as good as protean but it’s still very good. Also I prefer a special set over a physical one. Water shuriken, hydro pump, dark pulse and ice beam. Don’t underestimate the power of ash greninja. Many people do because protean is simply better but once you do, it can just snowball. Max ev special attack and speed.

You have 2 fighting types and 2 water types on your team and that can be risky. All your Pokémon are pretty much sweepers except maybe swampert and that isn’t good. Also for the most part don’t get hmm on your Pokémon. Most of them are awful. Only surf is the good one. I have to say your bit really experienced with competitive Pokémon at all no offence. Check out the PBB meta viability thread here if you need help. Also the smogon website is really good for suggestions for sets. At the time of writing this the Pokémon global link is down to get ready for ultra sun and moon but once it reopens, click the ratings battle tab. This will show you a page that includes the top 30 pokemon in the 3ds battle spot meta. Just ignore pokemon not in PBB yet and it’s very useful telling you the percentage of how often each, item, nature, move or ability is used.
